Sheboygan man charged with bomb scare at Nemak

A Sheboygan man has been accused of leaving a written bomb threat in the bathroom of his workplace and then pretending to find it himself.

Keith A. Slade, 43, 1117 Alabama Ave., has been charged with making a felony bomb scare. If convicted, he could be sentenced to 18 months in prison.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Feb. 18, Slade reported to his superiors at Nemak Corp. that he found a written bomb threat in the handicapped stall of the men’s room that said “to day i bring boom in lunch box maybe go off and five kill many.”

Nemak shut down operations and did a bomb sweep.

A search of Slade’s locker revealed pieces of paper that were the same as the one on which the note was written. In addition, samples of Slade’s handwriting matched the handwriting on the note.

When questioned by authorities, Slade said he thought the administration would just close down the locker room and do a quick search.
